    I have a P2000 that has been my primary since 2010, until now as I'm shooting a SIG.

    It has been dead nuts reliable in 25000 rounds. The only stoppages were from the slide impacting a barricade, 2 dud primers on cheap ammo, and 2 failures to extract on steel MFS. They don't seem to like steel cased ammo from my own experience and what I've read.

    I think the P2000 has the best manual of arms in the market. Add in an HK45C mag release to mag make mag changes easy as can be. Note that I never really caught onto the LEM, mine is TDA.

    I recently added some P30 mags with X-grips. I used to carry it with the 16 round German Police Model mags before I moved to NJ. I tried the flat 13 round baseplate and did not like them, greatly preferring the extended pinky rest. I really do love the gun, especially after it being my first serious use gun....but I find the trigger, recoil and grip of the classic SIGs to be more enjoyable...though I don't like the controls of the SIG. I've often thought that maybe the oft-forgotten USPc would be a better choice, as I can not only get the same Gray Guns trigger job I have now, but do it on a match trigger to start with. The USPc grip feels more secure, as well. Check it out.

    I have had one for a couple years and it gets carried a lot and shot very little, as I practice with the P30 LEM V2, but I find it to be almost as easy to shoot.

    If I were forced to have only one HK, the P2000 would be it. Without such restrictions, 2000sk is my choice for a discreet-er carry and 30L for a full size carry.

    Love my P2000 LEM V1 in .40S&W!! It came as a V2, but I sent it to Marine0303 with the parts for installation....makes all the difference in the world!!

    It carries AIWB in a Garrett Industries holster as well or better than a G19....very comfortable.

    I've got 6 mags, with one having a flat base pad for EDC.

    My son has carried one on the job for 5 years now and doesn't care for it.

    Nobody cares for the gear they're issued, it's one of those "grass is greener" things.

    A P2000 V2 LEM 9mm would be the first gun I replaced if my safe drowned in a lake tomorrow and I had to start over from zero.

    I'm really close to buying a P2000 LEM in 9mm. But I need some input...

    I was under the impression that the only P2000 LEM's sold in this country were the V2's. I found a company selling P2000 V1's on line. My web search shows the V1 as having a trigger pull of 20 Newtons and the V2 has having a trigger pull of 32 Newtons (7.3 lbs).

    I'm looking hard at the P2000 V1 variant, but is there any reason I should go with the V2 over the V1?

    The V2 has a much more positive reset. I find the V1 reset to be lazy and my finger would often outrun the trigger during reset. Since I like for my trigger finger to have constant contact with the trigger face the V1 was not going to work for me.

    Having carried a USPC V2 for 8 years I would go with the V1. I've found I can shoot the V1 LEM a little faster and its a little easier to shoot 1 handed.

    You can always convert it to V4 / TLG configuration if you find yourself out running the trigger. The V4 is basically V1 with heavier trigger return.

    I am the same way. My P30 and P2000 are V2 and I don't find the trigger weight to be a hindrance to shooting fast.
